There are various legends about Solomon's interactions with demons. This is related to those legends, and not some sort magical text.

Either that, or it's rubbish.
Absinthe has such a low amount of Thujone that in order to consume enough thujone to be hallucinogenic, you'd be dead from alcohol poisoning long before. The main reason absinthe affects people so strongly is that it's 140 proof, or 70% alcohol, and that will hit you pretty hard.
These podcast interviews are also excellent resources:
KHPR 001: So you’re thinking of joining the Temple of Set?
KHPR 003: Dr. Michael Aquino, Founder of the Temple of Set
KHPR 006: Don Webb, Prolific Setian Author
I know you're not a huge Aquino fan, Doors, but he has a chapter in his "Church Of Satan" document that essentially expresses exactly what you and others have expressed in this thread. He makes a great analogy to that of the Gump in the Wizard of Oz books. I think you'll really enjoy reading...
Off topic, but I too am working on "time travel" right now. I've gotten fairly decent at stretching and speeding time according to my perception, and I'd really like to hear your methodology concerning this matter. Feel free to take it to another thread or PM.
Doors, a book that helped me with this issue more than perhaps any resource I can think of is called "How I Found Freedom In An Unfree World" by Harry Browne. I think a lot about and wrestle with the issue of how I fit into the society around me, including my friends, family, and others. How...

To me, this is a perfect example of the best and worst of Crowley. Crowley was both so bad and so good at explaining something. If you can manage to roll with his sentences and references, you'll find a great explanation, even a perfect explanation. But for most people, and for most of...
I think it does it a bit of a disservice to say "simply." For example, the idea of fiat money (something of limited or no value such as coins, paper money, or digital representations of value such as your bank account balance) is probably the single largest magical working that has ever...
It is basically the idea that in mundane thinking (which is of course quite valuable) the union of two opposites will result in a zero sum. When force meets an equal and opposite force, there is a net inertia of zero. +1 added to -1 equals zero. This is an equation for balance, and...
I think that regardless of your opinions on Dr. Aquino, his recent addition to his "Church Of Satan" entitled "Flight of the Gump" is a really good, respectful, and worthy summation of the significance, successes, failures, and credits of LaVey's original CoS and its current iteration...
